Hello,
By searching on food allergy I gathered several good tips. I guess my question is on successfully communicating with a busy wait-person. I saw the recommendation to carry a laminated card stating my allergy: something like
Tengo una alergia a mariscos
Specifically, I have an allergy to the iodine found in shellfish like shrimp, prawn, and lobster. Fish (tuna, shark, even squid) are fine. So, is "mariscos" too broad of a term?
If we were chatting in COBOL or JAVA, I would be all set: but I have very limited Spanish skills.
Thank you for your comments.
Paul
